Show multiple images in metadata? #1010

Closed DeltaGemini closed 2 years ago

DeltaGemini commented 2 years ago

I know Pegasus themes can show a single image for screenshot, wheel, logo etc, but can I have screenshot show multiple images? Ideally, show any image that begins with the game name, something like "gamename_*.jpg"/png?

Hi! Yes, Pegasus itself supports multiple images for all asset types; for example, if you use media dirs all files starting with screenshot will be detected. What is on the screen however always depends on the theme.

Thank you, that's something I can look into. If you do choose screenshot in the metadata file, can you leave the path open ended at a directory, or does it need a single image declared?

mmatyas commented 2 years ago

Each path should point directly to files, either as an absolute path, or a path relative to the metadata file. For example:

assets.screenshots:
    MyGame/screenshot1.png
    MyGame/screenshot2.png
    MyGame/screenshot3.png

Hi, i tried to follow the instructions on the official website but i can't understand how to add other media in addition to the basic ones (box2d, screenshot, wheel, fanart, video)

For example, all of my collections have Game Cartridge images in a folder called "Cartridge" at the following path: C:\GAMES\ROMS\ "console name" \media\Cartridge

How can I display it in the theme like the other basic ones for all consoles? Do I need to add a path to the pegasus settings.txt file?

Thanks for your help

Hi! The assets displayed depend on the theme; the default one uses cartridge only when there's nothing else available. You can find more themes at https://pegasus-frontend.org/tools/themes/.
